In conducting the examination

the following rules:

board in presence of the cand1-

permitted to leave the room after
a subject has been assigned, with
out depositing the examination
papers with the committee. In
no case shall papers once deposit
ted be returned to the candidate.
Third During the examination,
all books, maps, globes or other
aids, must be removed from the
observation of the candidates.

plies himself paper, pens and ink.
If any corrections are necessary,
the candidates shall not erase, but
shall draw a single mark over the
error, that the examiners may see
the error as well as the correction.

board of examiners at the expira-
ton of the allotted time.
In en- article headed BE Calm
the Fort Worth Gazette says the
following about the prohibition
campaign: "The utterance of our
public men and the columns of
our newspapers will be looked to
for reflection of the sort of peo-
pie that compose our population.
Those who desire to preserve the
the good name and fair fame of
the state should be careful. If
bilingsgate is used, we will be re-
garded as a lot of blackguardg; if
preachers and priests are assailed, |
we will be called blasphemers; if
bribery is charged, We will be es-
teemed purchasable vagabonds; If
the six-shooter is used, we will be |
called murderers; if rotten eggs, !
whisky bottles and stones are
thrown, we will be called hood
lums; if free speech is denied, we
will be called bulldozers and ty-I
rants. by their fruits We shall
know them" will be applied to us. |
We will be judged by the expert
ments by those fallen leaves that
are whisked about by the winds of
passion-rather than by the sober,
common sense of the great body of
the people. If the question is ac-
copied as one upon which honest |
men may honestly differ; if each
side will discuss the question ably
and intelligently, as 1t can do; if |
newspapers will taboo vulgarisms
and rowdy expressions; if public |
speakers will damn the proposed |
amendment instead of the preach
ers, and if public writer's will use
the language of sober decency, |
then prohibition may rise or fall,
anti-prohibition may fade away or
flourish, Texas will retain her self
respect and the respect of her sis
ter states"
